25: Chapter 25 The Essence of Taiyin

Gu Han's Lifebound Treasure.

Gu Han raised her hand.

The snowflake mark on her forehead erupted with blinding light.

The ancient zither within the ice soul emitted a violent humming.

The entire underground plaza trembled in response.

The resonance of the Lunar Origin.

Gu Han walked forward.

The moment she stepped onto the altar stairs, three thick black chains emerged from the Void Realm.

The chains were tightly wrapped around the ice soul.

Black flames burned on the surface of the chains.

The flames blocked the connection to the Lunar Origin.

The Seal left by three Nirvana Stage powerhouses years ago.

Even after three hundred years, the Seal remained unbreakable.

Gu Han stopped on the stairs.

The Qi of the Lunar Origin struck the black flames, emitting a harsh hissing sound.

The total spiritual power at the Qi Refining Great Perfection stage could not shake a Nirvana Stage Seal.

Su Qianxue drew her longsword, preparing to step forward.

"Stand down."

Gu Han spat out two words.

Su Qianxue stopped immediately.

Li Yifeng passed by Mu Qinghan and Su Qianxue, walking to Gu Han's side.

The old man raised his broken sword.

The thick layer of rust on the surface of the broken sword began to peel off, revealing a dark golden blade.

Sword Intent of slaughter raged wildly within the underground plaza.

The ice layer on the dome peeled off in large areas.

"Sword Opens the Heaven Gate."

Li Yifeng swung his sword.

The dark golden sword light slashed onto the first black chain.

Ignoring defense.

Forced destruction.

Crack.

The chain left by the Nirvana Stage powerhouse snapped in the middle.

The black flames extinguished instantly.

Li Yifeng flipped his wrist.

Second sword.

Third sword.

All three chains shattered, dissipating into black Qi filling the sky.

Li Yifeng sheathed his sword and returned to his original position.

Gu Han walked onto the altar.

Losing the binding of the chains, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the ice soul.

Gu Han reached out her right hand and pressed it against the surface of the ice soul.

Bang.

The ten-zhang-high ice soul exploded into ice dust filling the sky.

The nine nether soul-suppressing zither descended slowly and stopped in front of Gu Han.

Extreme cold Qi spread to the surroundings.

The ground around the altar froze into a thick layer of ice.

Gu Han's fingertips touched the first string.

Above the Far North Icefield, the purple sun phantom had not yet dispersed.

The Void Realm suddenly twisted violently.

A space rift a thousand zhang long appeared.

A giant black spirit boat crashed directly into this world.

A large flag embroidered with a black longsword hung from the bow of the spirit boat.

Wan Jian Holy Land.

Immediately after, the sky in the east, south, and west directions split open simultaneously.

Three huge floating islands descended.

Taichu Holy Land.

Heavenly Demon Sect.

Joyous Union Sect.

Four terrifying pressures surpassing the Soul Transformation Stage instantly enveloped the entire Far North Icefield.

The Loose Cultivators on the outskirts of the Ice Valley lay on the ground in swathes.

Their bones emitted unbearable cracking sounds.

The incomplete Laws of the Far North Icefield began to backlash wildly.

Large patches of purple thunderclouds condensed in the sky.

Lightning rolled within the clouds.

The Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment was taking shape.

On the spirit boat of Wan Jian Holy Land, a middle-aged man carrying a longsword threw out a golden Talisman.

The Talisman stuck under the thunderclouds.

Golden light spread, covering the entire thundercloud.

The thunderclouds stopped rolling.

Heaven-Veiling Talisman.

Forcibly shielding the perception of the Heavenly Dao.

Within half an hour, the suppression of the Laws would be ineffective.

Old Xu stood below, watching the strange phenomena in the sky.

The foundations of all major forces had been brought out.

For this half an hour, the Far North Icefield would become a battlefield for old monsters of the Void Refining Stage or even the Dao Integration Stage.

The middle-aged man from Wan Jian Holy Land looked down, his gaze locked onto the entrance in the center of the Ice Valley.

"Luo Qingxue."

The middle-aged man drew the longsword from his back.

Sword Qi tore through the wind and snow.

"You failed to obtain the Lunar Origin Legacy back then; today, you have nowhere to run."

Inside the underground plaza, the terrifying pressure from the outside passed through the ice layer and pressed directly onto the dome of the underground plaza.

The ice layer began to crack in large areas.

Huge ice blocks fell around the altar.

Li Yifeng raised his head, his left hand gripping the hilt of his sword again.

Gu Han plucked the first string.

Zing.

Gu Han's fingers plucked the first string.

The clear, cold sound of the zither rippled through the underground plaza.

The dark blue sound waves turned into tangible ripples, striking the surrounding ice walls.

The previously cracked ice layer stopped shattering instantly.

A brand new layer of solid ice containing the ultimate Lunar Origin covered the entire underground space.

On the nine nether soul-suppressing zither, seven demon Dragon main tendons of different colors lit up one after another.

This supreme Spiritual Artifact, which had been silent for three hundred years, awakened completely the moment it felt its master's aura.

The extreme cold Qi surged into her Meridians along Gu Han's fingertips.

Outside, above the Far North Icefield, the golden light of the Heaven-Veiling Talisman completely overwhelmed the purple thunderclouds.

The suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws was forcibly erased at this moment.

On the black spirit boat of Wan Jian Holy Land, the middle-aged man looked down at the Ice Valley below.

Zhao Wuji. Elder of Punishment of the Wan Jian Holy Land, Void Refining Early Stage.

"Playing god." Zhao Wuji sneered coldly.

He raised his right hand, and the broad-bladed longsword behind his back unsheathed.

There were no complicated sword moves.

The spiritual power of the Void Refining Stage was poured into the sword body without reservation.

Zhao Wuji slashed down with one sword.

A black sword light a thousand zhang long tore through the Void Realm, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, heading straight for the underground entrance in the center of the Ice Valley.

Before the sword light arrived, the ground around the Ice Valley had already begun to collapse on a large scale.

Over a thousand Loose Cultivators lay on the snow, vomiting blood from being crushed by this pressure.

"Die." Zhao Wuji's tone was cold and harsh.

Underground plaza.

The immense pressure reached the underground through the ice layer.

Li Yifeng raised his head abruptly.

A shocking bloody light erupted from his turbid eyes.

The instinct of a slaughter embryo was completely ignited.

The absolute suppression of the Realm did not make him retreat; instead, it pushed his slaughter Sword Intent to its peak.

The old man bent his knees slightly, and his whole body shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

He smashed through the ice layer of the dome directly.

In mid-air, Li Yifeng faced the thousand-zhang sword light and raised the broken sword in his hand.

"Sword Opens the Heaven Gate."

The dark golden sword light surged upwards.

Boom!

Two Sword Qis collided violently above the Ice Valley.

A terrifying spiritual power storm swept in all directions.

The wind and snow within a hundred miles were cleared instantly.

The sheepskin fur on Li Yifeng's body shattered inch by inch.

Countless bloody wounds burst open on his withered skin.

The chasm of spiritual power between the Soul Transformation Great Perfection and the Void Refining Early Stage could not be completely bridged by Sword Intent alone.

But he did not retreat a single step.

The broken sword held firmly against the black sword light.

The defense-ignoring characteristic crazily eroded Zhao Wuji's Sword Qi.

Crack.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the thousand-zhang sword light.

Zhao Wuji stood on the spirit boat, his expression changing abruptly.

"A mere Soul Transformation, yet you can block my sword?" Killing intent surged in Zhao Wuji's eyes.

"Let's see how much blood you have to shed!"

He pinched a Seal with his left hand, and his spiritual power surged again, attempting to forcibly crush Li Yifeng.

Eastern Wasteland, Tianxuan Peak Hall.

Gu Sheng stood up abruptly.

On the System light screen, the life bar representing Li Yifeng was dropping rapidly.

"Damn it." Gu Sheng cursed.

Once the suppression of the Laws was gone, the Void Refining Stage old monster immediately carried out dimensional reduction strikes.

Although old Li was fierce, the hardware gap was there.

"System, open the mall! Find me something that can turn the tide!"

Gu Sheng scanned the mall list quickly.

[Temporary Cross-Realm Card: Price 50,000 Destiny Points.]

Can't afford it.

[Supreme Spiritual Artifact Unsealing Talisman: Price 20,000 Destiny Points.]

Still can't afford it.

Gu Sheng glanced at the balance: 12,600 points.

"Poor people don't deserve to play high-end games, right?" Gu Sheng gritted his teeth.

"System, filter me some targeted items under 10,000. Gu Han has a zither in her hand, I want something that can let her go all out!"

The light screen flashed.

[taiyin divine marrow (one drop): Price 8,000 Destiny Points.]

[Effect: Instantly replenish the full-level Lunar Origin, can forcibly drive the supreme Spiritual Artifact to attack three times. Ignores the current body's cultivation restrictions, but the body will fall into a twelve-hour weakness period after use.]

"Buy it!" Gu Sheng did not hesitate.

The Destiny Points were deducted by 8,000 points instantly.

Far North Icefield, underground plaza.

Gu Han stood on the altar.

A drop of dark blue liquid appeared out of thin air at her forehead, instantly merging into the snowflake mark.

Boom.

The aura around Gu Han surged crazily.
